Porthglaze - which takes its name from a rugged cove near Zennor - offers exceptional accommodation in an elegant and homely atmosphere. Situated in a quiet country lane away from traffic, Porthglaze has recently received the RAC's prestigious Sparkling Diamond and Warm Welcome Awards and is a haven for non-smokers.

The wide, golden sands of Porthminster Beach, which has a Blue Flag award for its clean, safe bathing waters is just a short walk, while the town of St Ives lies a little beyond. Cobbled streets and secret alleyways radiate from what is still a working harbour and to explore these is to discover why so many artists, sculptors and writers have chosen to make the area their home.

Should there be anything you feel we should be made aware of in order to insure you comfort and safety whist you are with us, please do not hesitate to inform us.

St. Ives

Cornwall is an ancient land of mystery and romance, where the past rubs shoulders with the present. Nowhere in England is it so rich in myth and legend.

For long, the haunt of artists, the opening of the Tate Gallery, in St Ives, adds a new dimension to the year round established attractions of the unique resort placing it firmly on the international tourist map.

Fabulous beaches, coastal walks, superb restaurants all the beauty and variety of Cornwall is within easy reach of Porthglaze from the rugged grandeur of Land’s End to the gently wooded creeks of the Helford River. And then over to the latest attraction in Falmouth to visit the National Martime Museum. The National Maritime Museum Cornwall transports you into the world of small boats and Cornish maritime history.

There is also St. Michaels Mount, imprisoned for two thirds of its life by water, with its history of sea battles and giants. The open-air Minack Theatre is on the edge of the cliff at Porthcurno has an ever changing fare of everything from the Classical to children’s plays. If the play should fail to hold your attention just for a second or so, watch the sun slowly bend to kiss the horizon framed by the cliffs, sea spray and scrawling seagulls.

Cornwall, like all worthwhile things in life, will always be shrouded in mystery, but whilst staying at Porthglaze, you too can catch glimpses of that magic.
